Water was forecasted to be big swells and wind so we opted for closer to shore for halibut. After a couple hours with no signs of hali we moved out to fish rockcod. Started out slow then it went wide open! Perfect size blues olives and red. Lots of fish and lots of laughs today.
Awesome local potluck trip today. We had a great time with the five 14-year-olds and one brave dad! We headed up the coast to one of our favorite fishing spots, and the fish started biting as soon as our lines were in the water. It was non-stop action, with fish on almost constantly and even some double hookups. It was a really fun group of young men, and kudos to the dad for taking them on their graduation trip. It was a nice trip, and those kids are practically pros now!
Happy Mother’s Day! Just wanted to share a quick update from our local potluck trip today. We’re still dealing with a strong current, which has made the fishing a bit slow. We managed to catch some ground fish, but unfortunately, no school-sized fish today and not as many as we’d hoped. The good news is that we’re expecting the ocean conditions to change within the week, and hopefully, the fishing will return to normal then.
The conditions on the water have improved since the weekend. The bait is moving in near Monterey and Pajaro and the halibut are showing up as well. The inshore rock fishing was good for anglers near Natural Bridges. There were some nice halibut caught near the Mile Buoy and in Capitola.
WOW!!! Lingcod, petrale sole, chili pepper and canary rockcod was on the menu today. Big lings to 17 pounds. Water was perfect. A shout out to out three Army soldiers on board. Good job everyone!
Our first halibut trip of the season. Water was so-so and not much bait in the bay yet. Drifted for hours but no halibut love today. Maybe in another week or two conditions will improve and the halibut will be in town!
Happy 70th John! Ran up the hill in search of chili peppers. Water was not nice and hampered our fishing quite a bit. In hindsight we should have taken a different route to avoid the ugly water conditions and get more fish. Not many fish caught today but Zach did get his first ocean fish and it was a sweet one!
Fishing has been outstanding in the deep! Big fish and limits lately. The weather forecast looks like flat calm seas for at least the next five days. Time to go fishing while the deep is still open!
Awesome Jurassic Park trip today. Weather couldn’t be better and the fish bite was crazy. 18yo Zion of San Jose picked up a triple chili pepper on just two hooks. Great dolphin show today too.
Started out being a nice calm water day but as the morning went on the water and wind picked up. Still managed to get some nice reds, green spots and bocaccio rockfish.
Was great to get back out on the water! The ocean was perfect today and the group of guys were awesome! Chili peppers, reds and petrale sole were the catch of the day. Water was pretty flat calm and no wind! Yeah baby!!!
